Scenario description: You are a postdoc and have not led groups of people before, you are not sure if you would be a good leader or what leadership is… you’re asked to take up a leadership role in the department's postdoctoral committee. The committee is responsible for organising meetings/symposiums, attending faculty meetings, and be the contact points for other postdocs. There will be three others in the committee. Should you agree?

​

Replies: I would have immediately said yes.
